Search engine giant Google is all set to revoke the 'free' unlimited storage policy from June 1, 2021.
The company said that it has become increasingly strenuous to maintain the cloud storage capacity in real-time, as it is seeing a record level of multimedia uploads every day. It already stores more than four trillion photos and videos, and users around the world can adding a whopping 28 billion new photos and videos every week.
So, it has decided to end the unlimited storage service for the good and has set the free limit to 15GB. So, anybody who wants to upload any new images to Google Photos from June 1, 2021, has to make sure they have enough storage or else subscribe to Google One plan.
Consumers can make good use of the Google tool that can estimate how long you can upload photos for free. Go to this Google Photos Storage help page (here) to get the estimation.
Also, there is another tool in Google Photos (click here) to identify and delete the blurry, large videos and use-less screenshots to free up space.
